If you ever met the teachers and district employers that I've met and talked to, you would indeed question them a lot, and never even consider giving them the decision-making rights on who should or shouldn't own a gun or even be teaching in the school districts.
I've been psychologically abused with threats of being struck and physically struck by a teacher in 3rd grade, ELEMENTARY school, via a yardstick(to "get my attention", he said), in an area that was supposed to be very rich and "safe", the six-figure income neighborhood, and had the school deny and cover up that it ever happened, and the teacher continued to work there for years. He also destroyed my personal, private property(not confiscated and gave back later, DESTROYED and THREW AWAY in front of me and the entire class). He also publicly humiliated me in front of the class all the time, meanwhile "complimenting" the other students, especially female ones(and by "complimenting" I mean making constant pedophilic comments and statements about the young female students).
The school I was going to more recently(which is just the opposite, ghetto and poor as all Hell) has had to fire and send out letters three times for inappropriate teacher-student relationships, one of which, if I recall correctly, was non-consensual and became a court case, if you catch my drift. The more recent school also denied classes to some students on no grounds of delinquency or anything, just because "they didn't have enough room"(to students who were ALREADY attending and in their senior or junior years, mind you, all of them too poor to sue the school, I've noticed...), and even kicked some of us out on those grounds. They've also denied evaluation and accomodation to disabled students, which is illegal, because they "don't want to do the paperwork". And this goes all the way up to district level, not just the one school.
I've personally had teachers send me out like a delinquent because I argued with them about things that were a direct risk to my health, because the teachers were control freaks. One teacher, I had to fight with about sitting next to a window because other students were wearing perfumes that made it physically impossible for me to breath otherwise because I was allergic to it, and she sent me out of the class for "misconduct" and "unjustly defying a teacher", because apparently we're only allowed to rebel against a teacher if they tell us to do something that will harm us, and apparently "not being able to breathe" is not a harm and optional because one controlling teacher says so, of which the principal took the teacher's side because they were "buddy-buddy" with each other and refused to listen to me over a matter that could KILL me.
Next thing you know it'll be "perfectly acceptable" for teachers to instill "obedience" and control of students at gunpoint. I wouldn't put it past the system at this point.
So personally, no, I don't trust the school systems to make the proper decisions where that's concerned. Some of them can't even handle the basics of assigning classes or see what's a risk or harm and what's not, I KNOW they wouldn't be able to properly handle screening teachers for who should or shouldn't be allowed to carry a gun, when there's teachers and school systems like that. Maybe you have a school that's different, but give them an inch and they'll take a mile. You start doing things like that for one school, and eventually that "protection" will end up in another school like the ones I've been i nthat become more of a risk than protection.
